    yh; totally cute. This book is exactly what it says on the cover "FANTASTIC" this book is my all time most favourite childhood book, and was the first proper book, as a child, i ever read. I dnt think i'll ever forget it. I read this book when i was 8, read it again when i was 9, agin when i was 10, and again when i was 11. My favourite bit was the bit about the farmers, and their little poems.
